    No. 98-6922
    CURTIS LAMONT SMITH,
    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    JAMES FRENCH, Warden,
    Respondent - Appellee.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis-
    trict of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Fox, District Judge.
    (CA-97-890-5-F)
    Submitted:   January 26, 1999          Decided:     February 10, 1999
    Before LUTTIG and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and HALL, Senior Circuit

    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Curtis Lamont Smith, Appellant Pro Se. Clarence Joe DelForge, III,
    OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh, North
    Carolina, for Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Curtis Smith appeals the district court’s order denying relief
    on his petition filed under 
    28 U.S.C.A. § 2254
     (West 1994 & Supp.
    1998).     We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
    opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
    find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning
    of the district court.      See Smith v. French, No. CA-97-890-5-F
    (E.D.N.C. June 9, 1998).     We deny Smith’s motion for appointed
    counsel.    We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
    legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
    the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
    AFFIRMED
